Do U remember the Paul Wellstone funeral

[gopiscrap]

the Democratic Party of MN got all sorts of shit because the Repukes said the funeral was a rally and disrespectful to the death of Wellstone and that the Dems were using it for gain. Jesus Christ that funeral was sedate compared to the shit show that went on today

1. Great post

2. He was a democrat senator so it makes

Sense we did what we did. Charlie Kirk was a republican activist and strong voice that means all to them because they lost a important voice but he held no office and to give him these honors when so many others were ignored is wrong.

3. "Democratic senator"

6. lol I was going to write that

And for some reason my mind said it was wrong....ahhh getting older is so much fun!

7. It's just another stupid way republicans are poisoning language

It’s a fucking game to the unwashed masses (owning the libs) and a deadly serious tactic to those in charge.

15. It lost Democrats the Senate seat. Nt

4. One of Franken's books had a chapter on the memorial service and the dishonest coverage of it

I think it was the book called lying liars but I could be wrong.

5. "Republicans should hang their head in shame."

But first they need to look up shame in a dictionary.

14. Shame requires a conscience.

8. I remember Chris Matthews wouldn't STFU about it

Don't miss that bozo at all.

19. Chris Matthews, a.k.a. "Tweety",

was also the guy who fawned over Bush's codpiece during the "Mission Accomplished" spectacle

10. Sorry it posted twice.

11. It wasn't the funeral but a memorial open to the public

and it was not good. Booing Republican senators that came to show respect. We ended up losing the Senate seat as a result.

The 2 just aren't comparable. Wellstone was a respected Senator and had a good working relationship with the other side.

Charlie Kirk was mostly a grifting troll.

12. Thank Goodness MN has 2 Dem Senators Now.

13. The local media falling all over itself to tell people how awful it was didn't help

That and many people (snowbirds in particular) who had filed absentee ballots were not able to change their votes.

17. 100% a troll.

His positions were all over the place. All he did was instigate. And TPUSA will not be able to fill that void of a troll groomed from 19 to push those political viewpoints. All of them wedge issues.
